Is Ja Morant playing tonight against Utah Jazz? Latest on Grizzlies superstar's availability (Jan. 25)

The Memphis Grizzlies are set to face the Utah Jazz at home on Saturday, marking the second night of a back-to-back. Ja Morant missed the team’s 139-126 win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday due to illness.

Morant is available for the game against the Jazz after being listed as questionable earlier. The two-time All-Star wasn’t in peak condition leading up to the Pelicans matchup, prompting the team to rest their star point guard.

"Woke up this morning, we opted for rest," Jenkins said on Friday. "As the day went on, I think they're definitely going to be out tonight. Hopeful for tomorrow. We'll see how they feel."

The former Murray State standout last took the court during Memphis' 132-120 victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday. The dynamic point guard put on a stellar performance, recording a double-double while leading his team with confidence. He tallied 16 points, four rebounds, 13 assists, three steals and one block in 32 minutes.
